(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Oh well do these publicly "resigned" files get people banned from modifying their game saves on games like Fallout 3 e.g. replenishing your weapons durability, unlimited ammo, etc. Or is it more like someone who gets every achievement for every game in one day just for the gamer score?
Edit: nvm about that signing nonsense I was babling about I just saw read the whole post on the site. Still my last question still stands. If you have played the game and are only modifying the gamesaves for your own amusement.(Fallout 3 is strictly Single Player) then could you still be revoked if you connect to XBL?

i dont think it has to do with pissing off M$, i havnent heard of to many cases where someone has been revoked out of no where, most people dont even know what it means. once they are told what it means, its usually, "yep, i think i just got myself revoked"
i am an owner of 2 revoked consoles, one of which has never seen xbox live, so this list is real as any saves or profiles created on this 360 that has never seen live will not load on any other system, i believe this list is also stored in our profile data as i also cant load a profile that wasnt created on this system either, even though it has never seen live.
dont get to worried if you have never uploaded a game save to a web site, this seems to be the only way to get your console ID added to this list.
if you lagged someone out in halo 3, what kind of punishment would the revoked list be, they are banning you from matching making as punishment, not the revoked list

Perhaps Microsoft should be revoked for copying Sony?Nintendo's motion sensing device???
It's not as if Sony or Nintendo invented the idea of motion sensors. Hell, they may have made it mainstream, but they weren't even the first to introduce motion sensor gaming/entertainment.

All gamesaves include a console, device, and profile id. So lets say that the profile id doesn't match with the profile, then it will show up as corrupted on the hdd. Profile is obviously for the profile, the device id is locked with the hdd, and the console is locked with the console. Profile and device have to match, but console doesn't have to unless its blacklisted. And besides, we should be able to transfer gamesaves if we want to. No other company had a problem with it till M$. And so what if some people achievement hack. It's not like it's hurting my gameplay. It's just a number, so it don't mean a thing. That's not even cheating if you ask me. My friend is one of those who wrote one of the gamesave resigners, even rehashes profiles. He's even writing a program to achievement hack...the correct way...with the profile.

If they didn't act like this, the cheating would become much more rampant. I would compare it to legalizing marijuana, if that happened, then a lot more people would do it just because it's legal (not saying that would be a good or bad thing, I don't want to start that argument). This entire idea of gamerscore/achievements becomes pointless once these cheaters start running rampant. Some people do enjoy playing games differently to get these achievements (myself included) and comparing them to other gamers. I figure that if I am paying for xbox live, Microsoft should do their part to keep everything as legit and fair as possible for all gamers, and this is one thing they are doing.
Well, I think part of the appeal of something that's illegal is the fact that it's not legal. In this case, however, I think they're focusing on the wrong aspect of cheating. In a perfect world, everyone's gamerscore would accurately represent how good they were. However, we live in a world where achievement hackers are cracked down on, while most "glitch exploiters" remain unscathed. Personally, I'm a lot more pissed off when someone crabwalks and kills me on gears than someone who exploited a bug that gave them the seriously achievement.
Short ver: "People exploiting glitches in online ranked matches are the real problem."

Then Sony and Nintendo must have ripped off Sega because my Dreamcast had a motion sensing controller way before Wii and PS3.
If i remember right Sega possibly Nintendo had the first motion controlled controller. I'm talking almost 20 years ago sometime around the debut of Mortal Kombat. They had made some sort of octagon ring that you stood in, and kicked or punched and it could mimic your movements. It was expensive and i don't think it went mainstream. Also SNES had a Turbo controller that had no d-pad, it was just a circular area and you could move your thumb around, worked like garbage. O and lets not forget about the Power Glove for NES.

Yes, iirc it was called the 'Activator'. It was about $90, I think, which was a lot more then than $90 is now.

Microsoft seem to forget this is a game system. Probably 99% of us do it for fun. They act like an overprotective mother.
Some people play games to get a high score, some play to finish the game, some play to win, some play to achieve something. For whatever reasons people choose to play a game, it can all be summed up as for "Fun" for them.
Cheaters take away the challenge and sense of accomplishment for both themselves and the other players. The cheaters take away and shorten the fun for the legitimate players and when a game is no longer fun they stop playing. People who stop playing are bad for any Gaming business. Microsoft is well within their rights to keep the game fair, level, and fun for everyone. Only an immature kid who cheats would accuse Microsoft of acting like an "Overprotective Mother" in this situation.

Back on topic: I can see why they are pissy about achievements, but game saves? C'mon! How often have you beaten a game, lost or deleted the save, and don't want to start from scratch again? Those gamesaves are a lifesaver!
What a load of BS.

Speaking of "corrupt" saved files, I finally figured out how to rid the problem. Check out my reply over in this topic:

So far I've been able to load my GTA IV saves and Rock Band saves on my new console when previously they were being read as "corrupt". Boo ya.
